Flag of Kaluga Russia - Color Changing Coffee Mug

The Flag of Kaluga is the official symbol representing the federal subject of Kaluga Oblast in Russia. It was adopted on November 15, 2001. The flag consists of three equal horizontal bands of green (top), white, and red from top to bottom. The design is reminiscent of the national tricolor of Russia, with minor modifications that reflect Kaluga's historical coat of arms. The green band on the flag symbolizes fields and forests, while the white band represents peace and honesty. The red band stands for courage and valor, as well as the blood shed in the name of freedom. The three golden acorns placed symmetrically along the white band are a tribute to Kaluga's founding legend about Saint Helena of Greece, who dropped acorns that grew into oak trees, creating the town of Kaluga. The Flag of Kaluga serves as an important emblem for the people and government of this Russian oblast, reflecting its rich history and unique cultural identity.
